    The fairing on my bike was on it in the show room when I purchased the bike in '81.

    Probably fitted by Suzuki Australia - the Australian importers.

      Jeeeez, thanks for all the input and ideas guys, now I have even more to ponder, what to do, what to do???
      larry, I agree that following the original lines of the fairing will accent it nicely, but it will be out of style with the rest of the striping which for all intents and purposes is straight, I think the "S" can get away wih it because it has curves elsewhere as well, like the color split and black following around the fuel cap on top of the tank, which the G does not have.
      Johno, trust the Ausies to put an S fairing on a G from the dealer...hahaha.
      I can't see too well, have they duplicated the two colours top and bottom, in other words orange above red, then a gap then red above orange?
      Or is it the orange and red then just a wide band of orange at the bottom?
      I do like it a lot ad it does flow with the rest of the bikes styling.

        This looks like a winner pattern. On black, it would be amazing and yet not HD mistaken.

          Here are some closer shots.





          I have a spare tank and tail and have been thinking about a black bike with blue and gold striping as well.

            Thanks Johno
            The way the light catches the fairing in the first pic, it looked like another orange band lower down just beolw the cut out for the indicator, now I see there is only one band of colour.

              Want to see it with the black replacing the red? I'll work it up for you if you want.
